Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a power generating apparatus including two systems one of which generates a hydrogen gas by hydrolysis and generates electric power by a hydrogen demanding unit and the other generates electric power by an oxidation-reduction chemical reaction involving electrodes and a plurality of ions.
  • Power generating apparatuses have been proposed in which hydrogen is generated by heating a metal material or the like at a high temperature to hydrolyze water, or by reacting a dry solid hydride with steam, is supplied to a fuel cell or the like and is reacted with oxygen to generate current.

  • the generation of hydrogen by heating a metal material at a high temperature is disadvantageous in that a large apparatus is necessary and heat damage occurs.
  • the generation of hydrogen by reacting a dry solid hydride containing an acidic or alkaline material with steam suffers from a problem of a deterioration in devices such as solid polymer fuel cells by the acid or alkali and a serious problem that the generation of hydrogen occurs at a low humidity even during the stop of operation.
  • the generation of hydrogen by heating a metal material at a high temperature poses the following additional drawbacks.
  • the reaction is carried out in an environment of 600°C or above. Accordingly, water supplied for hydrolysis per se is vigorously evaporated, and a large amount of water should be supplied resulting in low hydrogen generation efficiency.
  • the generation of hydrogen by reacting a dry solid hydride containing an acidic or alkaline material with steam also has an additional drawback that the regeneration of the hydride is troublesome and, further, harmful substances are produced.
  • the control of the generated hydrogen gas is difficult, and any means for storing excess hydrogen gas is not provided. This may cause explosion due to the pressure of the generated excess gas. Accordingly, the conventional techniques are dangerous and unsuitable as a hydrogen supply source for industrially and commercially used hydrogen demanding units such as solid polymer fuel cells, hydrogen fueled engines, hydrogen welding/cutting systems, and semiconductor production apparatuses.
  • the problem with the control of hydrogen generation is particularly significant when apparatuses, particularly small mobile (cellular) telephones or automobiles, are used upside down, or when random hydrogen supply is required.
  • the apparatuses contain water or a solution injected theretinto. Since the water or solution always stays on a gravity acting side, difficulties are experienced in releasing the generated hydrogen gas, in ensuring flow passages for the generated hydrogen gas, and in performing control to cope with a fluctuation in a consumed hydrogen amount.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a technique which can solve the above problem of the prior art and, in use of a power generating apparatus as a power supply of small mobile (cellular) telephones, automobiles and the like, can satisfactorily supply electric power with a normal function even when the apparatus is used upside down or when random hydrogen supply is required.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a technique which can realize a size reduction and a cost reduction even when the amount of hydrogen generated is increased and the function of the battery is improved.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a technique which can convert electric energy from natural or regenerable energy to a substance (a functional material) using an easily available material, which is free from resource depletion and is environmentally friendly, contributing to safe and large quantity storage and transportation.

  • a water-soluble polymer resin which is a low temperature thermoplastic polymer resin of which the molecules are fluidized at a temperature of 70°C or below, for example, an aliphatic polyester resin
  • the film upon cracking of the film by shrinking and swelling of the functional material, the film can be self-repaired by low-temperature heat produced by the self-heat generation to prevent dropping of the fine powder and to maintain intimate contact and fixation.
  • water-soluble or organic solvent-soluble polymer resins can easily realize a thin film forming step using water or an organic solvent.
  • emulsion type materials for example, water-soluble organic polymer resins obtained by polymerizing lactic acid by chemical synthetic method, for example, aliphatic polyester resins or polyolefinic resins or the like dispersed in water can be used. Further, other conventional organic polymer resins can also be used.
  • the low-temperature thermoplasticity of the polymer resin can self-repair the crack of the film, for example, upon heat generation during the operation.
  • the functional material is a hydrogen storage alloy
  • various film coated granular functional materials and a binder may be mixed and solidified and the solidified material may be mounted by packing on the inner side or outer side side of a pipe within the apparatus.
  • a method is preferably adopted in which the film coated particulate functional material is previously activated and is then mixed with a binder and pasted with an origanic solvent, and the paste is colidified followed by mounting on the inner side or outer side of the pipe within the apparatus.
  • the paste may be bonded as a solid within grooves of a corrugated plate. In this case, post-activation is necessary. Therefore, large-size apparatuses are not required to be a robust container against pressure.
  • This application can attain similar effects in hydrogen purification apparatuses for reformed gas and low purity hydrogen gas containing shapes of a pipe or a sheet for the purpose of purification of hydrogen, or in heat exchange apparatuses for the purpose of a heat pump, or in hydrogen compression apparatuses for the purpose of pressurization of hydrogen.
  • the functional material with a plastic polymer resin used as a film coating material is mounted on the electrode foil of the batteries such as a nickel metal hydride battery or a lithium metal battery, doropping-out of the active material as a result of a particle size reduction of the active material due to swelling and shrinking caused by occlusion and release of hydrogen or lithium can be prevented.
  • the function of a power generation element can be enhanced by joining a power generation element including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separating film and covering an insulating film thereon for integration. In this case, the prolongation of the battery can be also realized.

  • the functional material produced by reduction and hydrogenation using natural or regenerable energy can be hermetically sealed and stored in a waterproofed container or bag.
  • electric energy generated by natural or regenerable energy electric energy is converted to a high-density safe material, which can be stored and transported.
  • the hydrogenated material is, for example, magnesium hydride
  • it can be filled in a hydrogen generating container, and water or an aqueous solution is introduced into the hydrogen generating container.
  • a large amount of a hydrogen gas can be obtained from both of the hydrogen gas which magnesium generates by hydrolysis and the hydrogen gas which is generated by binding of two atoms of hydrogen to each other to generate a hydrogen molecule wherein the hydrogen atoms are those settling among magnesium crystals and released by the conversion of the reacted magnesium into magnesium hydroxide.
  • this container When this container is cast into bath water, rinse water, culture water and so on, a large amount of hydrogen gas generated by hydrolysis can be directly dissolved in water, and thus, it can be used as a production material of functional water to which a reduction potential and a weakly alkaline Ph value have been imparted.
  • the generated hydrogen gas supplied to a hydrogen demanding unit, generates water by chemical combination of oxygen and hydrogen when the hydrogen demanding unit is a fuel cell or a hydrogen fueled engine. Since this generated water does not contain any acid or alkali, the water can be circulated directly into the hydrogen generating container again and raw material water for hydrolysis can be obtained without supplying water from the outside.
  • a functional material magnesium (Mg) or magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ) is mounted on the active material of the negative electrode.
  • An aqueous magnesium chloride (MgCl) solution (electrolysis solution) and a polymer solid electrolyte are used as the electrolyte.

  • a battery having a plural number of active materials such as oxygen and nickel hydroxide can be constructed.
  • active materials such as oxygen and nickel hydroxide
  • even a plurality of ions containing polyvalent ions can be accepted by the diffusion layer with an increased unit area which can accelerated by an interfacial reaction. Accordingly, the battery can function as a magnesium battery with a reduced polarization resistance and can realize hydrolysis.
  • a nonwoven fabric and the like having a capillary function and a gel body may be used in combination and contained in the electrolysis solution in addition to the polymer solid electrolyte from necessity to impart the electrolyte with a function of shielding hydrogen gas outflow, thereby enabling to send hydrogen gas to a hydrogen demanding unit without allowing the hydrogen gas generated in the hydrogen generating container to flow out of the open area of the positive electrode to the outside and to prevent explosion of the container as well.

  • hydrogen atoms lose the settled site among crystals of Mg metal and each two of the atoms bind together to be a hydrogen molecule and thus hydrogen gas is generated. This produced amount depends on the reaction by the electric current through the load, and thus the generation of hydrogen gas can be also controlled by the electric current.
